You didn't specify which version you are running.  At some point we
had a thinko where the check for AllowRoot got reversed.  I.e. it had
to be 0 to allow root logins.

What do the log files say?

You sure the scripts are named either Default or <displayname>?

Do they actually work when you start them in - say - an xterm?

Read the manual entry for KillInitClients.
